I've tried to build GRASS having just compiled the other libraries with 
configure&make&make install.

I get the following error:

c:/Moritz/gdal-cvs-2006.12.07/libgdal.la: file not recognized: File 
format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** 
[/c/moritz/grass6/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgrass_gproj.6.3.cvs.dll] 
Error 1

and

c:/Moritz/gdal-cvs-2006.12.07/libgdal.la: file not recognized: File 
format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** 
[/c/moritz/grass6/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgrass_vect.6.3.cvs.dll] 
Error 1

which then obviously leads to many errors afterwards.

I have attached the entire make log and the libgdal.la file.

Any ideas of what is wrong with the .la file ?

Also, I've seen some debate on cross-compiling lately. If this is 
reasonably easy, it would make life easier for me as I would not have to 
wait for my colleague's windows machine to be free...
